Numbers from one to ten are specific words: üks’ [1], kaks’ [2], koume [3], nelli [4], viž [5], kuz’ [6], seiččeme [7], kahesa [8], ühesa [9], and kümne [10].

From eleven to nineteen, the numbers are formed from the matching digits, adding the -toštküme suffix at the end, which means from the second (ten): üks’toštkümne [11], kaks’toštküme [12], koumetoštküme [13], nellitoštküme [14], vižtoštküme [15], kuz’toštküme [16], seiččemetoštküme [17], kahesatoštküme [18], and ühesatoštküme [19].

The tens are formed by adding the -küme suffix (partitive case of kümne, ten) at the end of the matching multiplier digit, with the obvious exception of ten: kümne [10], kaks’küme [20], kuumeküme [30], nellküme [40], vižküme [50], kuzküme [60], seiččemeküme [70], kahesaküme [80], and ühesaküme [90].

Compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine are formed by saying the ten, then the digit separated with a space (e.g.: kaks’küme üks’ [21], vižküme nelli [54]).

One hundred is sada, and one thousand, tuha.
